“Ça cloche” (pronounced “sah KLOSH”) is a French expression meaning “something's off”. The bell is in the name too: “cloche” means “bell”.

Our goal is to help you spot what's off before you lose money. If it has already happened, we want to help you act quickly and in the right order, gather the right evidence and avoid the second scam: the “recovery” scam.

Meet Drelin, the mascot. Drelin carries a bell to ring when something feels off, before you lose any money. Drelin is a drawing and will never write to you, call you or ask you for money.
